legal plat
A legal plat is an official map or plan that shows the boundaries, dimensions, and details of a piece of land or subdivision. It is prepared by a surveyor and filed with local authorities to legally document property divisions, developments, or changes in land use. The plat provides precise information about property lines, easements, and lot sizes, serving as a crucial reference for property ownership, sales, and development. It ensures clarity and legal protection for landowners, developers, and municipalities by accurately representing land boundaries and attachments.
